Political change and underdevelopment a critical introduction to Third World politics

Randall, Vicky.

Political change and underdevelopment a critical introduction to Third World politics - Durham Duke University Press 1998 - ix, 294 p. ; 23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 266-281) and index.

In this completely revised second edition, Vicky Randall and Robin Theobald review the principal theoretical approaches to the postwar study of Third World politics. Instead of undergoing Western-model modernization as predicted, developing countries have seen the proliferation of one-party states, military coups, communal violence, corruption, and economic dependence. Randall and Theobald survey and analyze the varied theories born of these developments, with examples from such nations as Chile, Indonesia, Pakistan, Syria, Ghana, Nigeria, and Tanzania.
